Chryso Zorbas – Clinical Nutritionist
Chryso Zorbas is our Clinical Director and Clinical Nutritionist. She will hold your hand nutritionally from day one and guide you along the therapy with a personalized diet plan that will enhance your recovery process before, during and after the treatment course to optimise treatment results to a whole new level.

Apheresis Center Clinical Nutritionist Chryso Zorbas on how Clinical Nutrition has improved patients’ treatment results
Our Co-founder Markus’ personal recommendation
‘I do not usually make recommendations – the diagnostic tests and clinical experience of our medical team will always beat any personal recommendation. HOWEVER – there is one thing that I have observed that I DO recommend – Health Coaching and Clinical Nutrition Supervision! They make such a huge difference to patients that it would be negligent not to recommend them – no matter what your medical treatment plan is, these are the two things I so wish I had had when I was ill!’
Patient Edward Nicol on how Clinical Nutrition helped him and on working with Chryso Zorbas
‘She was very helpful – veeery helpful – everybody likes different things but she adjusted my diet individually!’ You can find the rest of his testimonial and interview here
1. Clinical Nutrition Supervision before and on treatment
Customized nutrition plan and consultation during the treatment including oral/IV supplementation support tailored to individual treatments/schedule
As soon as therapy commences, the body will shift gears, to adjust to the chemical shifts happening within the body. There can be signs of fatigue and tiredness which often come along with the treatment. To maintain the organs and the various systems of the body in a healthy condition, a personalized diet plan is given out to each patient.
Tests: it is encouraged that each patient completes a laboratory blood test/food allergy panel so that our clinical nutritionist can screen and analyse current health status and recommend the most appropriate diet recommendations.
Consultation: there will be two 30-minute consultations with our clinical nutritionist which will cover an array of questions, going through personal or family disease history as well as current and previous diets.
Nutrition plan: after the consultation(s), each patient shall be sent via email their self-tailored nutrition plan. A 30 minute follow up session (either online or in person) shall follow in the following week, where our clinical nutritionist will go through the email with the patient to explain the recommended diet plan, to ensure that it is understood and comprehended.
Covers: Two 30 minute consultations, analysis of blood and food panel test, personalized nutrition plan and a 30-minute consultation or video call, recipes and education.
2. Clinical Nutrition Supervision post treatment
Customized post-treatment nutrition plan and consultation including oral supplementation support tailored to individual treatments/schedule
After finishing the therapy, the body will start to heal and soon start to function better than previously. To enhance the whole procedure and have more effective and lasting results, a specific diet plan is created, that each patient is recommended to follow. This way, pathogens and invading organisms can be kept away and no longer threaten the body. If necessary, our clinical nutritionist will recommend specific supplements (in addition to the nutrition program) to achieve and maintain homeostasis for each patient.
Before leaving the clinic: Based on your initial personal and family health history and preferences, you will be sent a specialized nutrition program with recommendations of specific food groups and elimination or minimization of others if necessary. A 30 minute follow up session (either online or in person) shall follow in the next three days, where our clinical nutritionist will go through the email with the patient to explain the recommended diet plan, to ensure that it is understood and comprehended.
Covers: Specialized nutrition program and a 30-minute video call.

Follow-up: In our clinic, we praise optimal health outcomes.
